file/folder names?

[zweilicht]

before i buy a n2100 ... i want to ask:

the new firmware still limits file names: characters like , ; & are not supported (so they say on the thecus download page) ...

is that still true?
what happens, if i try to copy files/folders with those characters to the box?
do you think, these characters will be supported in the near future?

PS: my mp3-collection is named exactly like the original songs are - so there are some , and & in it ,-)

thanks for any answer!

Using a mapped drive on XPsp2, I tried creating a folder called...

New, Folder [ ] = + ; ” ,

...and it seemd to work.

Then I tried creating a subfolder called "test". That seemed to work too.

Finally I tried looking in the new folders using the Web UI, served directly from the n2100; that seemed to work too.

So support for such names may be better than officially announced, but your mileage may vary.

... THANX for the test!!!

... still interested about a possible "&"

... now i think i can buy a n2100 ... great!
